Chapter 110 Sword Skills
Zhang Xiaohua walked to the dining room with joy. The harvest of this morning was huge. It was also the most fulfilling and important morning since he practiced boxing.
Everything points to a bright future, only the last east wind is missing.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohua. He was startled and quickly stopped. When he saw it clearly, he patted his heart with lingering fear and said: "Old Yu, your Qing Gong is so powerful that you won't be able to do this to me." Show it off in front of me, as the ancients said, it can scare people, scare people to death, it is so elusive, but fortunately my heart is very strong."
Boss Yu said with a face: "How are you doing with your messy boxing skills?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and shouted loudly: "Mr. Yu, this is my privacy, how can you peek in? If you want to see it, you can tell me. If you don't tell me, how will I know that you want to see it? If you don't tell me, I just watched it secretly, but it hurt my heart very much. I will go to the owner of the village to sue you."
Yu Lao curled his lips and said: "As for those moves of yours that are full of mistakes, I don't even bother to look at them in front of me. You are still peeping. I don't have the time."
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "You didn't look, how did you know I was practicing boxing? And you knew it was a mess?"
Yu Lao said: "You hide under the tree and practice boxing every day like that, and no one can see you? I only know that you can't remember the whole set of boxing techniques, but I'm sorry to tell you. Do you think I don't have ears?"
Zhang Xiaohua blushed a little and wanted to tell Mr. Yu about his progress. However, it was still unknown whether he was doing the right thing and whether he could still remember these boxing techniques tomorrow. Therefore, he told himself in his heart: "I can bear it, but I can still do it." no?"
Then, he raised his head and asked Mr. Yu: "Just think that I can stretch my muscles and encourage me, instead of suppressing my enthusiasm for no reason? Come on, what is going on with you? If you don't tell me, the meal in the dining room will be ruined by Nie Xiao Two, they ate them all.”
Yu Lao rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "It's nothing. I just told you to wait for me under the tree where you practice boxing at night. I'll see you if I have something to do."
Zhang Xiaohua lowered his head and said, "Mr. Yu, I was defeated by you. If you don't tell me, will I not go there tonight? Do you need to tell me specifically?"
As if his cunning plan had succeeded, Mr. Yu said, "I tell you this specifically to make you pay attention and be mentally prepared. Secondly, there is a dish this morning that is pork belly. It is said to be very delicious. Nie Xiaoer said that every You have fought with him every time. When he saw me just now, he asked me to tell you to go a little later and wait until he has finished eating before letting you in. It is probably almost time now, so go ahead."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Mr. Yu's disrespectful behavior and said viciously: "Old Yu, you are cruel."
After saying that, he ran towards the dining room in a hurry, as if a dog was chasing him.
In the evening, Zhang Xiaohua waited under the tree as promised. Mr. Yu didn't say when he would come, so he practiced his boxing skills in a leisurely manner, and he was serious about it. After he finished playing intermittently, he listened. When someone next to me cheered, I looked up and saw that it was Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu said approvingly: "Zhang Xiaohua, I see how clever you are. These messy moves are actually practiced by you in a realistic way. They are almost the same as a real set of boxing skills. It seems that I have to look at it differently."
Zhang Xiaohua said sheepishly: "Mr. Yu, there's nothing I can do. As you said this morning, I really can't remember the whole set of boxing techniques, so I have to figure it out on my own. It's better than having no boxing techniques at all."
Mr. Yu nodded and said: "Your determination to pursue martial arts is really good. There are thousands of ways to succeed in this world. As long as you can find one and stick to it, even if there is no result, you will never regret it. One day , looking back on the past, I can feel proud and comfort myself, I worked hard.”
Zhang Xiaohua thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your guidance. I will work hard myself."
Mr. Yu asked again: "Zhang Xiaohua, your boxing technique seems to be intermittent, and you cannot practice it in one go.
It's like you can't finish a sentence and have to pause in the middle. Although the competition does not focus on routines, incoherent boxing techniques will prevent your moves from practicing to the best effect. "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Yu, I heard that the highest level of martial arts is to win with no moves but with one move at a time. My intermittent moves may be an evolution towards no moves."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "I don't know about the realm of no moves. It is a legendary realm. Maybe only the top few in this world have it? Maybe this is just a legend."
Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Yu, do you have any boxing manuals there? I want to see it, can you lend it to me?"
Yu Lao was stunned and said: "Boxing charts? Yes, how can you read boxing charts? It's impossible. Aren't you illiterate?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Mr. Yu, you are too underestimated. I was illiterate before, but does it mean that I won't be able to read now or in the future?"
Mr. Yu thought for a while and said, "By the way, when I went to your house last time, you were reading a book. Didn't you learn to read while you were recovering from your injuries?"
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Old Chongqing is wise."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "But boxing manuals are different from reading Chinese characters. If you can read Chinese characters, you may not be able to understand boxing manuals."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu. I have seen their collection of boxing manuals at the Lotus Escort Bureau. I should be able to understand them."
Yu Lao said: "Well, come to my room when you have time, and I will find the boxing score for you."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yu."
Immediately, he asked: "By the way, Mr. Yu, do you have anything to do with me tonight?"
Mr. Yu looked at the full moon in the sky and said with a nostalgic tone: "If you are not in the Jianghu, you will imagine the splendor of the Jianghu. Once you go deep into the Jianghu, time will make you grow old. You know, Zhang Xiaohua, there is a saying that 'people are here' The rivers and lakes cannot be controlled by one's own control. As long as you step into the rivers and lakes, whether you are willing or not, the wind and waves of the rivers and lakes will blow you away and make you have no choice but to drift with the tide."
Zhang Xiaohua said in confusion: "Mr. Yu, tell me what you are doing. I haven't thought of joining this world yet."
Mr. Yu looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said seriously: "Zhang Xiaohua, as long as you want to practice martial arts and learn boxing and martial arts, you will inevitably get involved in the world. You can't avoid this. Although you are still young, you seem to You have chosen this path, unless you give up martial arts now and focus on farming and cultivating the land in this villa."
Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said, "I practice martial arts just to protect my family and the passion of the world. Although I am very envious, it is still early for me to have these two brushes. By the way, you won't give it to me today." Let’s talk about this world.”
Yu Lao said: "Don't be anxious, Zhang Xiaohua. I tell you the dangers of the martial arts world because I want you to know that if you insist on practicing martial arts, you must have the consciousness to enter the martial arts world. The most important thing is to survive in the martial arts world." There are means to save one’s life.”
Zhang Xiaohua was still puzzled.
Yu Lao sighed and said: "Actually, after saying so much, another thought is to let you know the dangers of the world and give you up the idea of practicing martial arts. You don't seem to really understand the seriousness of the injury to your right hand."
Zhang Xiaohua asked anxiously: "How serious is it, Mr. Yu? Didn't the doctor say you can still practice boxing?"
Mr. Yu said: "The doctor didn't lie to you. It's okay to practice boxing, but in fact, your right hand has been disabled, so it's impossible to compete with others."
Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and said, "What's going on? Mr. Yu, you must explain it to me."
So, Mr. Yu told Zhang Xiaohua's injuries exactly.
Zhang Xiaohua's face turned pale. He really didn't think that much. He thought that the bones would just grow well and there would be no difference from before. But now after listening to Mr. Yu say this, he realized that things were far from as simple as he thought. Since If your fist cannot effectively hit others, it will naturally be useless. Then what is the use of practicing boxing?
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's expression was different, Yu Lao didn't say anything and waited quietly for a while.
After Zhang Xiaohua's mood calmed down a little, he asked again: "So, do you still want to practice martial arts now?"
Zhang Xiaohua still nodded, with a firm look, and said: "Practice martial arts, why not? Didn't you just say that if you find your own path, you have to go all the way to the end. Even if there is no result, you will not regret it. My right hand is useless, but There is also my left hand, even if I use my left hand, I can still practice boxing well and protect my family."
Yu Lao said with an expected expression: "You kid, you are really a master who has walked all the way to the dark side. I have two purposes for coming today, and I have just mentioned one. Since you don't want to give up martial arts, then I will I have a second suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
Zhang Xiaohua sucked her lips and said, "Of course I am willing, Mr. Yu, I know you are doing it for my own good."
Yu Lao said happily: "It's good to know. I don't know how you impressed me, but you made me like you no matter how I looked at you."
Immediately, he continued: "Actually, when you are dawdling in the world, it is not just your fists that can save your life. More people use weapons, such as swords, guns, swords and halberds and other eighteen kinds of weapons. Now that your fists are useless, you can still save your life. You can practice weapons.”
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, Mr. Yu, you are really awesome. Everyone knows this."
Yu Lao smiled bitterly and said: "This is just common sense in the world. Only a kid like you who has never seen the world doesn't understand it. Don't admire me so much, it will make me ashamed."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "I have no choice but to look up to you. However, what weapons do you think I should practice?"
Yu Lao said: "Actually, you can practice any weapon, as long as you can practice it well. Although there are clouds in the world, 'the gun is the king of a hundred weapons', 'a hundred practice sticks, a thousand practice swords, a thousand swords' and so on." Rumor has it, but individuals’ qualifications and opportunities are different, and they may not all practice the same weapon. In the case of your right hand, practicing the stick method is the best.”
Zhang Xiaohua frowned: "Stick method? I've never seen anyone practice it, Mr. Yu, where can I find someone to teach it?"
Yu Lao was delighted and said: "With your qualifications and your right hand, how could anyone teach you stick skills? Don't even think about it?"
Zhang Xiaohua said worriedly: "No one teaches you such a simple stick technique, so what's the use of talking about it so much?"
Yu Lao waited for a moment and said, "I don't know how to use sticks."
Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and said, "You don't even know how to use sticks, how can you teach me?"
Mr. Yu added: "Our martial arts will not be taught to outsiders without accepting disciples."
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said: "Master is here, please accept my disciple's bow."
After saying this, you have to kowtow and salute.
But he was held up by Yu Lao with one arm and said: "Pull him down. With your qualifications, let me teach you, and you don't have to make me angry to death. It's better to save it and let me live a few more years."
Waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to stand firm, he continued: "Although I can't accept you as my disciple, it just so happens that I also know a sword technique. I learned it by chance, so I might consider teaching it to you."
Zhang Xiaohua said with great joy: "Really, Mr. Yu, you can teach me swordsmanship."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "This sword technique is not secretly taught by my master. I naturally have the right to make the decision and can teach you."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Yu. Hey~, why is it just one sword technique? Can't you teach me a few more moves? Don't be too stingy with me."
Mr. Yu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you lack the foundation of martial arts. I need to give you some enlightenment sometime. This swordsmanship is different from boxing. Boxing is a complete set, including offensive and defensive skills. The whole set of continuous exercises can strengthen the body, and some boxing techniques are even auxiliary methods for practicing internal strength. Of course, most of the sword techniques are complete sets, which can be performed like boxing techniques from beginning to end, but there is also a sword with one move and one move. Law."
Zhang Xiaohua said in confusion: "How to perform a move? It can't be like the boxing skills I practice, just put it in a posture."
Yu Lao explained: "The competition between weapons emphasizes defeating the enemy with one move. If you have to fight with swords for a long time before you can distinguish the superior from the inferior, then you have failed. When masters compete with each other in swordsmanship, if they don't move, it will be enough. If they move, they will be defeated." Win or lose."
Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and said, "Then, is Yu Lao's one-trick swordsmanship superior?"
Yu Lao said with a smile: "Whether it is good or not depends on the person who wields the sword. If I use it, it will be a killing sword technique, and if you use it, it may be for others to watch."
However, Zhang Xiaohua still asked: "I don't understand why, it's just a sword move, how can I practice it?"
Yu Lao said: "I don't know whether this sword technique is a set or whether there are other moves. I only practiced nineteen variations of one move at that time."
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "One move? Nineteen changes?"
Yu Lao said with a smile: "Yes, there are nineteen variations of this move, all of which are offensive moves. Presumably, there are other defensive changes or moves, but I don't know."
Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Well, Mr. Yu, I would like to ask, is there any difference between swordsmanship and boxing? It's that swordsmanship generally contains several different changes."
Mr. Yu nodded and said: "You are right, the usual swordsmanship is like this."
Only then did Zhang Xiaohua understand why she could understand the boxing manual but not the sword manual. It turned out that there were so many details about the moves of the two.
Thinking of learning more advanced swordsmanship, Zhang Xiaohua became even more eager and said, "Mr. Yu, then you can teach me now."
Mr. Yu said: "I'm just going to tell you tonight. The details can only be taught during the day. You can't see the subtle differences in the changes of sword moves at night, so it's not easy to learn."
Zhang Xiaohua added: "Then, Mr. Yu, can you let me see the power of this sword move?"
Yu Lao thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled out the long sword from the scabbard with one hand, and stabbed Zhang Xiaohua's throat at a mysterious angle. Although Zhang Xiaohua could feel the sword's power and direction, his body's reaction was not that fast. Before Zhang Xiaohua could move, the tip of the sword was already pressed against his chin. Zhang Xiaohua ignored it and punched the long sword. The long sword just shrank, changed its angle like lightning, and stopped on his chin. In front of you.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the sword tip that stopped in front of him, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. This mysterious sword technique was really too powerful.
When Yu Lao saw that Zhang Xiaohua was motionless, he put away his sword and sheathed it again.
Said: "How is it? Zhang Xiaohua, is this trick good?"
Zhang Xiaohua said angrily: "Of course you can deal with a rookie like me, but I don't know how other people are like? How to be a captain?"
Yu Lao said proudly: "In front of this sword technique, you and He Tianshu are the same."
Zhang Xiaohua was even more starry-eyed and wanted to learn such a powerful thing quickly, but Yu Lao was still not in a hurry and said: "Since I promised you and came to you eagerly, I will naturally teach you the sword skills. However, You have to promise me two things."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Please tell me, I am willing to wash your socks for ten years."
Mr. Yu said: "The first thing is that you are not allowed to tell others about the swordsmanship I taught you. Even if others know that you know this swordsmanship, they cannot say that I taught you the swordsmanship."
Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "That means Captain He and my second brother can't say anything either."
Yu Lao nodded.
Zhang Xiaohua added: "Then, can this sword move be passed on to my second brother?"
Yu Lao thought for a while and said: "This sword move is too sharp. If it spreads widely, it will cause a storm in the martial arts world. It is better not to spread it."
Zhang Xiaohua agreed.
Mr. Yu continued: "The second thing is that when this sword technique is used, it will go away and never come back. It will inevitably see blood and harm the world. I hope you will not use it easily until your life is critical. , don’t use it either, understand?”
Zhang Xiaohua was thoughtful. When Yu Lao saw that he understood, he said: "You must have understood now. This is a very powerful sword technique. I am teaching you today just to save your life. I didn't think about it." I want you to carry it forward, I hope you can live up to my painstaking efforts and don’t stain the sword with too much innocent blood.”
Zhang Xiaohua saluted sincerely: "Mr. Yu, I understand what you are thinking. I will definitely remember what you said tonight and will not hurt innocent people."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "Actually, I am relieved based on your character. Seeing that you have been working hard from morning to night during this period, you are also concentrating on practicing martial arts. Although your qualifications are not good, you are not afraid of hardships and work tirelessly. I must You will be promising in the future. You can learn this sword move, and it can be regarded as a pearl that does not need to be covered with dust. However, if you go to the world in the future, you still need to be more careful and don't be too impulsive, because what you see may not be true. "
Zhang Xiaohua looked puzzled. What he saw may not be true?
